I have a '97 Olds Achieva with a 2.4 liter engine and 145,000 miles on it. This has happened a couple of times now, where I let the car sit for about 24- 48 hrs without starting it and when I go to start it the battery is completely dead. None of the interior lights turn on and the car does not turn over at all. What drains the battery if it just sits there? Everything is turned off, radio, lights, ect. We have to charge the battery after this happens then the car will work fine, but if I leave it sit for more then 24 hrs. The battery dies. Thank you.
